i am very grateful to be alive, healthy, and still be able to dance during the quarantine. i know some people aren’t as fortunate as me so i am grateful to have the opportunity to help and care for those who are struggling by volunteering at a mobile food bank. my heart goes out to you through this dance!

9 years. 💙
She's been dancing longer than not and wouldn't have it any other way.
I can't wait to see where the next 9 years take her.
This starting today and through next Saturday she will be performing what would have been this year's recital dances. Expect videos and pics galore.

🌺A Deeply Personal Post ~
...............
This is the very first, EVER- ballet leotard I purchased with my own money. I was 11/12 years old. I saved up for it mowing lawns (I’m talking ACREAGE) with a push mower in the summer. I had been dancing for quite a while now, but had leotards passed down from my peers who no longer wanted theirs. Sometimes from the lost and found box.
Those are the first pointe shoes I ever purchased. Black from years on stages. Yes, that’s blood- my blood. They don’t come assembled, so I sewed on the ribbons and elastic by hand- my first time sewing. I did it at night by closet light so I wouldn’t be mocked or get in trouble- everyone “knew” there were no black ballerinas.
In the third picture, is a broken “shank”- my feet were so strong I broke them early. This surprised everyone.
So did the scholarships.
When I won that year, many mothers were angry because it was their child’s “turn” and I bested them. ADULTS refused to applaud as I went up and accepted it.
(They would get back at me with comments about me being an orphan oddball whose clothing didn’t fit right... I won’t continue on that, but let’s just say it was made clear I didn’t deserve to be there.)When I got older, I got more of the same, but when finances became the issue, I heard: “It’s mature of you to understand your place. Not everyone gets to do what they love”. Dance has stayed with me. It still is mine to share, teach and experience.
The world is still a place where those who experience “otherness” and manage to carry it with grace are often exploited for this ability. For this talent. How dare they believe they deserve to be here?
Your socio-economical class does NOT determine your worth. Your strength does not mean you are to be sacrificed for the sake of others.
YOU deserve it all.
YOU BELONG.
